I have a Sony laptop that's (almost) functioning perfectly. The problem
 
My guess is some sort of overheating problem.
Does it occur on AC and battery power?

Check the air vents and be sure they are clear.
 
Another vote for overheating.

Remove system battery and run from AC power only, and see if the problem
occurs again.
 
Interesting:
However if it does not quit on it's own, overheating is not likely to be the problem.
I would guess that it has problem in the PWR Supply circuit.
Unfortunately, on a laptop, that would require a new motherboard.
